Chapter 698 Free things are the most expensive (1/2)

In fact, Li Duoyu was only half drunk, but there were some words that he had been holding in his heart for too long, and he also wanted to find someone to talk to.

So, while he was drunk, he secretly said something, and then shamelessly hugged his wife to ask for some sex.

"It stinks like hell, it all smells like alcohol."

"It's been more than five months. It's no problem. I'm very gentle."

Zhou Xiaoying gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't even settled the accounts with you yet, why is Chen Ziyi here too?"

"I don't know. I'm a big boss now. It's impossible for me to ask about everything. It's all arranged by Manager An."

"sleep."

After Zhou Xiaoying turned off the lights, she turned around and snatched away all the quilts, but she couldn't help but smile.

This year, the pier of Dandan Island is as lively as a small market. If it were not an island, it would be inconvenient for people from the town to come. It feels like the market in the town would have to be moved.

The market in the town was much deserted compared to previous years because there were fewer people from Dandan Island.

At the town committee, Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao also expressed some emotion. Nowadays, the entire Minlong earns more money than the entire town combined.

Mayor Gao said helplessly: "I always feel that the two of us are a bit unworthy of Director Li now. He used to come to see us during the Chinese New Year, but now there is no trace of him."

Chen Shulin was also helpless: "Just stop saying a few words. People don't owe us anything because they have many fish. On the contrary, because of Minlong, our town committee has benefited a lot in vain."

Mayor Gao snorted: "I asked him to arrange an accounting position for me, and I was hesitant for a long time."

Chen Shulin was a little surprised: "Lao Gao, do you want to get Xiaojing into Minlong?"

"There are only a few people in the credit union, and they are all married. If she continues like this, she will definitely not find a partner. It is better to send her to Minlong. There are many people there, and maybe there are people who can like her. "

Chen Shulin took a sip of tea. Speaking of which, Gao Jing was already thirty. Nowadays, people generally get married and have children in their early twenties. If you are not married before you are thirty, your spine will be broken.

"But Minlong's finances are managed by Li Yaoguo, who is still a classmate with Xiaojing, so you are not afraid of Duoyu's second sister-in-law coming to make trouble. I have to make a deal first. When the day comes, I will run away first!"

Mayor Gao sighed, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Shulin shouted: "Come in."

After opening the door, there was a lean and dark young man, carrying a lot of things in his hands.

"Secretary Chen, Mayor Gao."

"You are all here, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, just a little fun, some tea and wine, and canned gift boxes produced by our Minlong."

After speaking, Li Duoyu delivered two exquisite gift boxes in front of the leader. This gift box was designed by Wu Shaoyan.

To put it bluntly, it is specially made for giving gifts. It contains not only locally brewed green and red wine, but also rock tea from Wuyi Mountain.

The rest are Minlong food, two cans each of clove fish, shredded kelp, and canned jellyfish, three packs of grilled shredded squid, and some fine dry goods, dried prawns and dried oysters.

"Duoyu, that's too polite of you. Just come and see us. What else can you bring?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Thanks to the leadership for taking care of us this year, we have never forgotten the well diggers. Without the support of the two leaders, Minlong would not have developed so well."

Mayor Gao's face was slightly unhappy, and he naturally knew that what this boy was talking about was just for the occasion. As the business grew bigger and bigger, this boy became more and more thoughtful.

What surprised Gao Yuntian was that Li Duoyu said next: "Mayor Gao, I heard you tell me last time, is Sister Jing planning to work somewhere else?"

Gao Tianyun nodded, and was a little surprised at the same time. He didn't let you have sex last time, so why did he mention it again today.

Li Duoyu said: "It's like this. When Mayor Gao mentioned it to me last time, we in Minlong did not have a position suitable for Sister Jing. It just so happened that our company would set up a headquarters next year, and we were currently lacking someone like Jing. Such a talented person."

Gao Tianyun and Chen Shulin looked at each other, both of them feeling that if they were half as good at talking as this kid, they would have been promoted long ago.

Although he knew that this boy was talking politely, Gao Yuntian was just happy to hear it.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. By the way, Mr. Li, are there many single young men in your company?"

"Well enough."

Li Duoyu naturally knew what Mayor Gao meant. In fact, the young men in their company were very popular, and they were all the focus of competition for matchmakers.

"Then after Xiaojing passes, can we hold a few more social gatherings? As a father, I really have no choice."

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "I understand, leader, when Sister Jing comes, I will definitely find a way to hold more social gatherings and team building events, and strive to eliminate the older unmarried young people in our company."

Gao Tianyun put his hand on Li Duoyu's shoulder: "I have a bottle of aged green and red wine at home. Would you like to have a drink? Your sister-in-law is very good at cooking."

When Chen Shulin heard this, he was speechless. His old colleague who had been working hard to arrange Li Duoyu just now was now attentive and wanted to invite Li Duoyu home for dinner.

"If you want to eat, you can go home and eat by yourself. Mr. Li and I still have something to discuss."

Chen Shulin quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, Duoyu, I have something to ask you. That is our town. If we develop another textile business, do you think we can do it?"

Li Duoyu pondered for a while. If the historical process is followed, the future development direction of their town is indeed mainly textile industry.

But because of his appearance, the whole aquaculture industry was developed, and the balance tipped to his side.

"It can be done. Now the people's economy is gradually getting better, and the demand for clothing is getting higher and higher. The textile industry is definitely a sunrise industry in the next few decades."

Chen Shulin smiled and said, "I think so too. You see those Hong Kong Islanders on TV, each of them is so beautiful. After we develop, these work clothes will definitely be out of the stage. There are so many people in the country."

Chen Shulin pulled Li Duoyu to chat for nearly three hours on the spot, and at the end of the chat, Secretary Chen finally got to the point.

"Mr. Li, do you want to invest?"

Li Duoyu looked at Secretary Chen with a smile. He was indeed optimistic about the textile industry, but many times, people's energy is limited.

At present, he is almost unable to turn around Minlong Company. If he gets involved in the textile industry that he doesn't understand at all, Li Duoyu feels that he may not be able to do it well.

"Secretary Chen, my personal ability is limited. If Minlong makes more money in the future, I will definitely invest."

"Okay."

And Chen Shulin was just asking questions. In fact, he had already attracted an investor, a returned overseas Chinese in the town.

Most of the equipment and funds were provided by this overseas Chinese. However, this overseas Chinese was very interested in Li Duoyu and wanted to get him to join the business together. Chen Shulin acted as the middleman.

After chatting for a long time.

Li Duoyu sailed back to Dandan Island, but unexpectedly found that the dock was full of people and the loudspeaker in the village was also broadcasting.

[Dear villagers, everyone, please pay attention. There are salesmen from our Fu Ri TV Company selling TVs at the dock. If you plan to buy a TV, hurry to the dock. ]

Even though he was reborn once, Li Duoyu still feels that this era is really magical. On the one hand, you have to provide TV tickets to buy a TV.

window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnail---300x250', placement: 'Below article thumbnail - 300x250', target_type: 'mix' });

This part is socialist.

But in some places, you can also buy a TV directly, but it will be a little more expensive than those in department stores.

This part is capitalist.

In short, this is the dual-track system unique to this era.

People with connections can get tickets and buy things at low prices. And people without connections can still buy those in-demand goods as long as they are willing to pay a little more.

The difference between the two is the interest of a certain group of people.

Li Duoyu remembered that Lao Tang had said something to him in his previous life.

Of the one billion people, 900 million fell.

There are still 100 million people looking for it.

This is probably the true portrayal of this era. Many people with connections in the city don't need to go to work at all. They just need to find ways to get various tickets every day.

Although the price of TV is not cheap, people sell things at the doorstep. If you don't buy it, it always seems that their Dandan Island is not generous enough.

"If you don't want a coupon, I want a 16-inch black and white TV." A villager named Xu Fugui raised his hand.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a villager immediately advised: "Old Xu, believe me, grit your teeth and go directly to the color TV. If you still watch black and white now, no one will come to your house to watch it later."

"I just bought black and white because I'm afraid you will come to my house to watch it."

"Just pretend."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu felt a little uncomfortable. The development of Dandan Island in the past two years has been too fast.

I remember that in the previous life, except for the Wang brothers, everyone else in the village had a TV, so it was good. Who would care whether it was black and white or color.

It's not like now. Buying a black and white TV actually feels a bit behind. This is too pretentious! Wang Xianghong, an electrician in the village, struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and shouted: "I want a 16-inch color TV."

After making this decision, Wang Xianghong sighed: "If I really buy a TV, I won't be able to eat pork for half a year."

A villager joked: "If we can't afford pork, we can eat fish. Isn't that how we used to get by."

Wang Xianghong said: "Fish is not cheap now. Besides, my family doesn't have a fishing boat. Otherwise, after you catch the fish, sell the seafood to me at a low price."

"Okay, do you want a big-bellied fish?"

"Go to hell, I live by the sea and will eat this stuff."

Li Duoyu smiled. The big-bellied fish they are talking about should be the croaker. This thing is not only ugly to the point of having no friends, but also despised by fishermen. Generally, if it is caught, it is sold as miscellaneous fish.

In Japanese cuisine, it is a rare delicacy, but for a chef, he really doesn't like to cook catfish, mainly because it is very troublesome to kill and even more troublesome to cook.

This year, due to the departure of Xinyuan Group, the market is very chaotic, and seafood is different from pork. The output is very unstable and not so easy to regulate.

In addition, the supply and marketing cooperatives have rarely sold seafood, which directly led to the fact that the price of seafood mostly followed the market.

This year, the fishermen really made money. Previously, they made a lot of money by picking kelp seedlings.

In addition, the price of seafood has risen sharply this month. Some fishermen have earned the annual salary of most people in just these two months.

Others may have to spend a whole year's salary to afford a TV, but for the villagers of Dandan Island, as long as they are willing to work hard.

As long as they work hard in the three months of picking kelp, collecting kelp, and fishing during the New Year, they are likely to earn enough money for a color TV.

Nowadays, the villagers have money in their pockets, and consumption naturally increases. This time, the sales of TVs are very good. In just one day, they sold 20 sets on Dandan Island, and most of them are color TVs.

The salesman was completely confused, and there were people who came late and asked: "Will you come to sell tomorrow?"

The salesman hurriedly said: "Yes, of course!"

Before leaving, the salesman looked at the Dandan Island in front of him and couldn't help saying: "Fuck, the people on Dandan Island are so fucking rich!"

In addition to those who came to the island to sell TVs, the mainlander who sold Li Duoyu's fireworks at the beginning chartered a boat to sell directly on the island this time.

A boatload of fireworks was quickly sold out, and half of the fireworks were directly bought by Chen Atai, the big boss of the next village.

They bought more than 10,000 yuan, and they finally got the big boss's money. This year, they plan to celebrate well and set off fireworks until dawn.

The brothers who came here to sell fireworks were completely dumbfounded. This was the fastest time they sold fireworks since they started their business.

But in addition to selling fireworks, they came here for a more important purpose, which was to find a way to purchase the products of Minlong Company.

He had called before, and the canned anchovies and grilled squid strips were still in short supply. If they wanted to get these two products, they had to pay the full amount.

But they were afraid of losing money. They happened to go to Shangfeng Town to sell fireworks frequently, so they thought they would try their luck and see if they could get the goods.

As a result, they asked in the town.

They found out that the young man who gave them the business card was the boss of Minlong Company.

So the two of them decided to hire a boat and sell the fireworks on Dandan Island.

Selling fireworks was just a side job. The reason why the two of them went to the island to sell fireworks was only one reason, that is, to deliver fireworks to the boss of Minlong Company.

"Mr. Li, long time no see."

After seeing the two of them, Li Duoyu smiled and asked, "How are the fireworks selling?"

"The people on your island are so awesome. They sold out in half a day." As soon as they finished speaking, the two pushed the best fireworks into the courtyard of Li Duoyu's house.

"This is the latest fireworks in our Liuyang in the past two years. Not only are the colors beautiful, but there is also a roar after it is launched into the air. It is very good."

Li Duoyu turned around and was about to get the money, but Liu Neng, who was selling fireworks, waved his hand quickly: "No, Mr. Li, it really doesn't cost money."

However, things that don't cost money are always the most expensive. After all, you are short-handed when you take someone's money. It just so happens that Li Duoyu really wants to buy some fireworks.

I have a good relationship with these two people. Li Duoyu sent them two big boxes of Minlong seafood gift packs.

In addition, he approved a note for them to bring a truck of goods back home.

Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was time to watch the Spring Festival Gala again. Compared with the previous few days, their family courtyard was full of people.

This year it seemed a little deserted. Only the neighbor Wang Po, Lao Hu, the second brother, and Sister Shuihua were watching TV at home.

After all, there are more people with TVs on the island now, and there is no need for hundreds of people to watch one TV like before.

The color TV in Li Duoyu's home was still the Toshiba color TV that Liu Yun compensated him with. As the Spring Festival Gala began.

The TV suddenly had a snow screen again, and little Tutu was the first to shout: "Dad, go and hold the signal pole."

What a rebellious son! Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. For so many years, he seemed to have never watched the Spring Festival Gala properly. (End of this chapter)
